Crack the cages
Inspiration for this type comes from RockyRoer.
Solve online in CtC-app (thx henrypijames!)
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Each cage (dotted outlined region) must be split in exactly two regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each region contains at least two cells. The small number in the upper left corner of each cage indicates the sum of all digits in one of those regions, as well as the product of the digits in the other region. Within each cage all digits must be different.
Solution code: Row 3, followed by column 3.
